THE 3I0RXIXG OHEGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 16, 1918, 12 SHIPYARDS ARE FULL Portland Plants Turn Away Men Seeking Employment. PLANTS WORKING TO LIMIT Corernmrnt Officials Xote Own "Teamwork" Amon Workers. 1100 More Men Employed Xow oa lcmorT 20. ' Oregon shipyards will not draw on the proposed rolunteer reerre of 150. workmen which Chairman Hurley, of the United Scales Shipping Board, has authortied to be formed immediate, ly by State Councils of Defense, be rause all are running with the men required and others are being turned away. Lloyd J. Wentworth. bead of the Oregon district, was approached yes terday by men seeking; positions, some being under the impression that he is concerned in that feature, which is most erroneous, his department not bring connected with shipyard em ployment in any way and men can obtain places only through applica tion at the indlTtdua! plants. 9 killed Mea Wasted. Official reports showing; 1180 men - more are working; In the Portland ana Vancoarer yardi now as compared with the total employed December 20. has riven rise to the assumption that an establishments are Increasing their forces, which is true only to the extent thst certain skilled men are taken on. not simply those skilled in other work who think they can become proncien in the marine plants. One feature of the human side of shipyard work is that the executlre of each yard believes he hss the best fore and that "team work" abounds In every department. Government off! cera who are la position to know whether the plants have esprit ae corps, hesitate to name the one. which, in their opinion, is the best. For that reason it is asserted the Oregon yards are operatic today in a mors satis factory wsy than before and men and manager alike are fully cognisant of the resDonstblltty resting on them to ad 1 to the ship production of the coun try this year. WeWfi reutrarlles Mower. And that Is pot alL Kvery man In the Government force cot only realises that the builders sre to be depended on as Ions; as men and material are to be had. but appreciates what Is the posi tion of the state of Orearon In pledg ing iJJ.o tons of wooden carriers and t0.0 tons of steel ships during the present year. Steel ships are al ready In the water to start that rart of the 101 programme and before March ends there will no doubt bo a moet creditable showing of the wooden vessels, the first for government ac count being yet on the ways. EXCAVATING TO COXTIXITE C. J. Cook Bl Stronger Gear to Cse oa St. Johns Terminal Project. Br virtue of a new understanding ar rived at between the Commission of Public Dorks and C J. Cook regarding the excavation for the grain elevator foundation on the St. Johns terminal property, the latter Is to resumo work there as soon as the condition of the ground permits. He recently ceased work owing to certain grading gear having broken down, bat since mors substantial equipment has been pro vided and he will carry on the under taking, thereby averting any danger to his contract. The matter was discussed at a spe cial gathering of the Commission yes terday. The attitude of the Commis sion is that no desire la harbored of forcing the contractor as to the time of completion, owing to unforeseen de lays having been experienced through the freshet, and. as there has been a third recurrence of that condition. It Is viewed as just that adequate exten sion of time be recognised. When the excavation Is finished the foundation will be protected by banks of earth to guard against future freshet difficul ties. FRESHET HALTS STEAMERS Locks at Oregon City and Upper River Service; Suspends. When the Willamette River reached 11. 7 feet above sero at Oregon City early yesterday morning steamboat traffic was suspended for the third time in two months, due to freshet conditions.

The river rose to the lt-foot mark by 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, gain rng five-tenths of a foot since S o'clock In the morning. The forecast la that It will go to 11 feet today and It. I feet tomorrow, and Meteorologist Wells, of the Weather Bureau, doea not look for much of an Increase after that, unless heavy rains fall In the Willamette Val ley again. The morning report from P.tiaren yesterday showed an Increase of 1.1 feet there, while at Albany It fell I f tcct and at Salem rose 1.1 feet.
